Absolutely. Ad-free, customized status bar, countless xposed modules. I would never go back to a locked down device.

Im personally not sure if i want to/need to root. Im happy with overall performance, but if i can make it even better, im happy to root, and i did root all my previous device. But this time, i just dont know, something stops me.

Well i rooted my S7 edge G935FD in warranty in the first hour i bought it 3 weeks back
I am on Phoenix Rom V2.0 , Am Getting 7 Hours SOT with mixed use of 4G,Wifi and Gps .. I have tried all roms in the last 3 weeks . All N7 Ports as well
Themestore is what i want with 100 percent compatibilty, The N7 Port Roms have fewer themes yet in store. where as S7 edge Themecenter is perfect. Dont know why its like that.
I have no ADS on phone, using xposed latest framework. and i have zero regrets
Rooting is very simple if you follow the steps exactly . nicely elaborated at xda , salute to the developers

Got the device 3 weeks ago and didn't root it till now. I use Package Disabler Pro (no root needed) to stop / disable all the Samsung bloat / crap and am pretty happy with battery life and overall performance of the phone.

No Root - its how use iPhone , no control about your Phone.
Samsung app´z destroy your Akku life

Total rubbish.
Disable what you don't need. It's easy enough. Hardly any of the Samsung apps eat battery life if not used.
Rooting is for boys that constantly need to play with their toy
It's a phone.

I agree with you. without root you can disable 90% of apps you don't need and the other 10% eat an unnoticeable amount of battery but I like my toy and customised the hell out of it. Mostly debloat, visual mods, xposed and viper audio. personal preference and It's totally your choice to keep stock. damn good phone either way.

Hahaha..without root no point having a android phone . Call Recorder, Greenify, Adaway, Cerberus,Lightingwall, Seeder and most of all TB are useless without it. BTW, if you care for warranty then dont root

Yes, The device improves, Battery life and everything you can think about. Lucky Patcher is the big reason for me. plus greenifying system applications saves alot of battery, removing bloatware. so yes, root is highly recommended, but be careful, it voids the warranty....

I rooted my edge the first day I got it. I do this for a couple of reasons.
I want an ad free experience on my phone. I always try to buy ad free apps, but sometimes there's no alternative.
I like the Samsung phones, but not too fond of the Samsung apps, so I remove all the Samsung bloat.
For me, the volume level is standard too low, so I need root to alter the values.
This is why I like android. You can alter a really good phone and make it perfect.

I've rooted every other Android phone I've had, but not this one. I have ad-blocking with NetGuard, and realized most of the things I changed on my rooted phones were things that really didn't make any difference in how I used the phone. They were for fun, or look, or added changed minor little things that don't really matter all that much.
To each his own, though. For now I'm happy with the stock setup. Maybe someday I'll change my mind.

Android OS has come a long way from the early days. root is not really adding huge functionality like it did once before.
I'm am still tempted to root... but it becomes an addiction.. trying things just coz u can. But from experience on s5 best ROMs particularly in terms of stability and battery life were the stock ones.
I think if some major features are found on the next year flagships and they are late to be implemented on updates that would be a reason to reconsider rooting.

What has root done for you?

What have you done since you've gotten root access?
I rooted, and the only thing I have done is remove apps I don't want.
Same here, removed apps for now.
I look forward to a good custom ROM in the future as there are some aspects of the MT4G Sense I would rather not have.
pack said:

All about the custom roms and kernels. Root was the prerequisite. Now that we have it developers can start working on the real stuff, as in the "life or death" stuff everyone is so excited about. I'll take it you're new to android/rooting? Wait and see, great things to come

no not at all actually :/ i got addicted back with the G1 and have had a list of android phones since then... i lost my nexus one the other day so im just as excited as anyone else... i just wanted to see if anyones been playing with anything good or just makin minor tweaks
Not only removing stock apps. It helps u bring a sense of originality & style to ur device with the full customation ability that Root access provides. In addition to that, making your device run smoother & faster & not being an eager slave to the creators of the smartphone world. In easier terms, not always waiting for the things u anticipate for that ur phone is already suppose to do. I was a sceptic at first, but once u decide to take that turn towards rooting u will be very satisfied.

I'm as bad a spec geek as the next, but I've yet to find any reason to OC over 1ghz on any recent phone I've had.
I would only OC when I was trying to pull the best benchmark and then back to 1ghz for me on my Evo...
Rooting
I wasn't aware that there was a root for this phone so quickly. Where is it located so that I can remove all this crap that I will never ever want to use. Thanks. Also What is mobile defense.
So far the only thing I've really done with root was change the Lock/Unlock sounds. I'm a huge Metal Gear Solid fan so now whenever I lock or unlock the phone I hear the codec open or close sound.
whats the easiest way to remove said bloatware again? titanium?
I've removed bloatware and the rosie.apk. Also, I'm waiting until u can actually underclock my processor.

This information must be shared, Snake!
I'm guessing Root Explorer would do the trick? I've never looked into doing that before. Mind sharing the location and/or the sound?
Anyway, removed bloat, used Setcpu, gave Juice Defender root access. And @flopie, mobile defense is an app that can track your phone if you ever lose it. Shows the gps location on a map at their web page. You can remotely lock it down or wipe the phone and sd card if you have to.

Has anyone noticed a performance drop since Rooted with Xposed? Your feedback please

This may be abit of a ironic question.
But this was more noticeable on my previous device.
flash a CR Custom Rom, boot up, nice and smooth, add xposed and a few mods and there was a noticeable degrade in performance.
Fair enough, am adding more programs to memory, This is to be expected.
but the noticeable effected on my previous device have put me off doing the same to this device.
Its rooted, but no TWRP or Xposed yet.
But i have just now got to a point of frustration i.e. LED Control (Default Colour) Back to Kill.
and various other small tweaks that are starting to grind on me not having access to them.
I used to use about 3 modules on Xposed, Xgel, Gravity and XPrivacy
(Most time i have Xgel Disabled) And very few options enabled for Gravity)
Has anyone had issues or performance, battery drain or slowness in the device? i.e. Input lag / wake screen lag.
I also understand everyone uses Xposed different, and some will have 100 Mods while others will only have 2.
I was just looking for the feedback from the users who have already Xposed themselves :silly:
I have a Rooted S7 Edge (Exynos), TWRP and Xposed installed with Flat Style Bar Indicators, Greenify, XTouchWiz and Youtube Adaway installed.
I did a benchmark with Antutu a couple of days ago without Xposed modules installed. I didnt feel any difference on performance and battery, it comes down to how you tweak your device.
Both benchmarks, beforehand I cleaned with SD Maid and Samsung Manager and I u'pped it "Performance Governer" using Kernel Auditor and Its both in Airplane mode.

I actually seen it one Note 5 and now on S7 Edge, probably because of the tripped Knox i hope there is a way to counter that, battery life were superbig before root, and now it's barely acceptable.

Yeah I had the note 5 and it was the same thing. That sucks. I've removed root and flashed back stock and still bit the crappy battery life. I mean, it's not bad but it's not as good as it was before

i hope a custom kernel can solve it, the problem is probably Knox counter 0x1 drain the battery at random times, we need someway to bypass it.

And why do you think that alone could drain the battery? Hardly that's the reason.
I noticed a downgrade when I flashed a rom, so i went back to stock which is just normal
[conspiracy=Samsung] they did something that makes 3rd party SoC's and Apps under perform to make themselves look good [\conspiracy]
Idk but something changes when u root. Happened on both Note 5 an gs7 what there is to do?
Same here... Performance drop ROOT
I don't know if Samsung does something similar to Sony when you root. Sony loses alot of the image post processing for low light situations the secodn you unlock it for liscensing reasons they don't want their software getting around from my understanding. Samsung might implement a similar thing on another component of the software for all we know if there truely is some drop in performance.
Weird how some experience a performance drop and others don't tho.
I'm rooted with exposed and I've only noticed slower boot time. I think it has a lot more to do with what apps/modules and processes are running then root alone.
Battery is best ive ever experienced in a phone aswell and that's coming off a note edge

Benefits - Downsides to Rooting

Hello everyone
I've always jailbroken my iPhones in the past, since it was such a constrained environment.
Since last year I've been rooting my Android Phones. Currently my new Note 5 is not rooted, since I'm questioning if I should root.
I've seen other threads that superficially deal with the PROS/CONS of rooting. I want to hear yours.
My PROS for rooting:
Greenifying apps for battery saving (though I'm currently not sure how much battery life is really saved)
Installing Xposed - I always use "no high volume warning", and "background youtube videos"
Use Amplify for battery saving
Use of F.lux or CF.lumen (for removing blue light at night)
Install apps like Youtube downloader by Arter97
My current CONS of rooting:
Losing the phone's warranty
The energy I spend being obsessed with battery performance
The bugs I encounter from time to time with rooted devices
Please share your PROS/CONS.
Are you someone who used to root phones? Do you currently do so? Why?
Thanks! :good:

When rooted, with Greenify+Amplify+Supersu I had great stand by battery life.

I'm not sure what carrier you're on, but at least in the US:
Pro: wifi hotspot/tether hack
Pro: custom ROMs
Con: rooting trips KNOX, which disables both Android Pay and Samsung Pay.
Samsung pay is super convenient; there's rare occasions when I'll forget my wallet when heading out of the house, but I never forget my phone. Another handy use is to add credit cards that you don't use often enough to warrant carrying in your wallet, but want to have on hand for certain times (ie a hotel-branded card that you only use at hotels, for example). Finally, Samsung has offered some pretty decent promos to start using Samsung Pay. I think they gave me a $50 phone bill credit.

Coming from Note 7

Hey guys. New to this device, having just jumped shipped from the sinking Note 7.
Just wondering if you all could tell me if this device is easy to root and if the rumors I've heard about rooting this device making it slow, laggy, etc., are true.
Thanks in advance.
Easy to root yes...look on YouTube...but keep in mind that
after rooting your phone will get super leggy and you will need fix some stuff with kernel...that's too much sht... I decided to stay stock... TouchWiz is not that bad actually...enjoying my s7 edge after leaving my note 7 too
Me too , I returned my note 7 today after have for couples day's but for now I'm happy with this device whit out root
I was wondering about this too. I still have my N7 but was thinking of returning it for a S7 Edge
Here is How To (Qualcomm) Root S7/S7 Edge
I have been on rooted stock, modded stock, and now Echoe since early July with good performance and battery life with the basic kernel mods recommended.
Echoe is the best (and really only non-stock ROM0, but has some minor issues - primarily WIFi calling, so if you want that you might stick to stock or the modified stock just released.
Be sure you read the instructions carefully before starting so you can avoid mistakes many have made getting started. In messing around with different setups, I have had to RE-ODIN stock software and re-root several times - can do it in my sleep now - lol.
Note - if you buy a TMo S7 - check which firmware version is on it an download and save that firmware. If you don't want to jump into rooting right off, do not let TMo update the firmware, as it will include the latest bootloader and security patches, which will limit your options.
If you want LTE+ (it is fast), I believe even when rooted that you could ODIN ONLY the ODIN CP module that upgrades the modem and related firmware to the new LTE.
Does the S7E offer anything like Smart Select that would allow me to trace out a picture on a webpage and save it or share it?
I'm on modified stock rooted. Yes you need to use something like trickstermod to change the governor and min/ max frequency. Takes 2 seconds. Runs decently. No major lagging. I have root and a ton of xposed modules up and running without any problems.

What settings do you recommend?
Ondemand governor and set big and little cores to both max and minimum correctly. The eng kernel has them all locked at 1000 and performance which lags like crazy.
Edit:
Make sure lock frequency is enabled and don't forget to apply on boot.

I'm also coming from a note 7. Getting my edge tomorrow. Rooting it doesn't seem to be an issue, also says it can still be rooted on the latest firmware. I'm still researching on how to fix the stupid issues like the lag, hurricane icon etc. Any help or write ups would be awesome and save some of newly edge owned people. I did have an s7 edge as a loaner during the first recall.

Not exactly like how the N7 does. The workaround would be to screenshot and crop thru the edit tools

I've pretty much gotten it in my head that for the first time since the Note 2, I will be using something else other than a Note. I'll fall back on my Note 4 if I get too homesick.
Besides the S Pen, there is one other feature I'll miss a lot - Secure Folder. It's grown on me in ways I never expected. The simple ease of transition from normal to Secure Folder use is what makes it so good. Having the option of having a completely secure version of any app that only the user can access... I'm hoping Samsung ports it over to the S7E.
It's a decision of either sacrificing the performance upgrade or S Pen and it's features!

Did you try to install the apk with the installer or did you put it into directly into the system? Also, there may be other system components you will need load
I defiantly miss my Note7, but the S7 edge is a very good replacement. although, I'm still intrigued by the V20.

beginners guide to downgrading to MM?

Hi is there a beginner friendly guide to downgrading s7 edge back to MM?
The guides are so vague that if you understand them you dont really need the guide to begin with. Any A to Z guide available?... i couldn`t find one with the search.

There are more things i can multi task with in MM (e.g. instagram)... and youtube is stuck at the midpoint when multitasking in landscape on nougat.
Battery life feels worse and this is without twilight app running (I switched to inbuilt blue light filter on nougat) and I dont want to lower the ****ing resolution!
Certain UI changes i dont like (e.g. drop down menu)... the rest make no difference to me.
Camera app lost some quick-change settings on its camera screen.. so now i have to dig into camera settings to change them.
Generally the update is bland in terms of colours... feels washed out generally speaking.
All in all i got nothing out of nougat, just i remembered why i should never put the welfare of my electronics in profit driven entities.
I`m sure you get loonies like me passing by frequently but my experiences made me someone who believes updates` main purpose is to slow down the older phones so we buy the newer ones. I could elaborate on this but lets just avoid it for everyone`s sake

Thats simply not true...ive been using an S6 edge till i got this s7 edge and i can tell you that Nougat made the s6 way faster then it ever was...Even costum roms werent worth when stock nougat launched...was using lineage os for the s6 before switching to nougat and man what a difference..
you just need to accept updates dude, also when you say that colours are washed out on nougat dude common...
Battery is good for me...

There are more things i can multi task with in MM (e.g. instagram)... and youtube is stuck at the midpoint when multitasking in landscape on nougat.
Battery life feels worse and this is without twilight app running (I switched to inbuilt blue light filter on nougat) and I dont want to lower the ****ing resolution!
Certain UI changes i dont like (e.g. drop down menu)... the rest make no difference to me.
Camera app lost some quick-change settings on its camera screen.. so now i have to dig into camera settings to change them.
Generally the update is bland in terms of colours... feels washed out generally speaking.
All in all i got nothing out of nougat, just i remembered why i should never put the welfare of my electronics in profit driven entities.
I`m sure you get loonies like me passing by frequently but my experiences made me someone who believes updates` main purpose is to slow down the older phones so we buy the newer ones. I could elaborate on this but lets just avoid it for everyone`s sake

Nop, a slightly cynical stance is good when it comes to fast changing consumer electronics.
New certainly is not always better.
As to Nougat, of what I read so far it is a woeful update as a new Android version.
They could have just packed the few useful new things in an update for MM.
I got the update ready to install but am in no hurry whatsoever. MM runs superbly.
The lure of the new is just too much for most. I've read of folks getting seriously anxious because they had to wait ?.
Sad
I feel that my battery life isnt as good. Now its pointless telling me your having good battery life I FEEL as if i`m experiencing worse battery life.
Anyways i found a way to downgrade. Everything was working fine before. If you can link me to a thread with some battery optimisations for nougat i`ll reconsider... but lower the ****ing resolution is not one of them... I enjoy full resolution with good battery life before and expect it to be at full resolution now. Performance profile is optimised
All I can say is lol.
